About this audio guide
This guide to Liverpool Lime Street station starts not with a train but with a trial: the year the Liverpool comedian Ken Dodd faced the Inland Revenue at Liverpool Crown Court in nineteen eighty-nine. You'll meet the prosecutor, the barrister with one line for the jury, and the suitcases in a Knotty Ash attic. Best heard on the concourse beside the bronze statues of Dodd and Bessie Braddock.
